Chapter 7: The First Arrival in the Red Fire
Nine days passed quickly.
On this day, Doer was swimming in the star network, and the liaison received a notice from the master of the spacecraft: "Heidi will arrive at Red Mars in two hours, please prepare for landing!" The Red Mars fire element is active, and the surface temperature is about 110°C, so please wear protective clothing. ”
When the time was about the same, Duoer drank a nutrient, washed and changed into protective clothing, and carried a space backpack. After receiving the landing order from the mastermind, he opened the hatch and followed the flow of people down the spaceship.
The air port of Red Mars is also built in the air, resembling a giant red octopus, with a spherical body and tentacle-like passages connecting to the mooring platform. The people here either wore battle armor or protective clothing, but everyone wore goggles, and their faces were cold and hurried, which was completely different from the leisure of Blue Spirit Star.
"It's better to familiarize yourself with the environment when you're new to the city, and it's best to find a guide." Duo'er secretly thought, "I remember that Qi Duo'er's school experience has been to other planets, and there are guides at the airport. "Enter the teleportation and arrive at the airport landing floor, and sure enough, there are a lot of people holding guide signs here to solicit business.
"Come and take a look, the most complete map of Red Mars, as well as the Red Fire Species."
"The most experienced guide, the ...... that can be visited in all three cities"
"The cheapest accommodation with natural food, 100 credit a day!"
……
Duo'er avoided the crowd that deliberately hugged her, walked forward, and saw a young man standing against the wall, silently holding a sign. He looked at Duo'er expectantly, and it wasn't until Duo'er came close that he asked a little nervously, "Does Miss need a guide?" I'm cheap, 100 credits a day. Or four nutrient solutions will do. ”
"Are you familiar with Red Mars?" Duo'er asked nonchalantly
"I'm from this planet, and I've lived here for more than 20 years, so I'm very familiar with it."
"Well, okay, it's you. Tell me about the planet first. ”
"Thank you, Miss, call me Wilson. Oh, by the way, this is goggles, for a long time in this environment is not very good for eyesight, easy to get extreme blindness vision deterioration, you put on first. Wilson took a goggle from the backpack behind his back and gave it to Duo'er, and began his work: "This planet is red, the soil and vegetation are red, the fire element is very active, the alien plants are mostly fire wood attributes, and the alien beasts are mostly fire-based.
Duo'er put on the goggles, and sure enough, her visual senses were much more comfortable. "Thanks, just call me Lista, and we'll pay for it later." I would like to go to the commodity area first to see the specialties of the planet, and talk as I go. ”
"Okay. Miss, please come with me. Wilson guided Doer towards the commodity area as he continued, "There are three main cities on Red Mars, the closest to the airport is Forest Fire City, and there are also Red Sand City and Red Flame City. The terrain near the three main cities is very different, the Red Flame City is surrounded by mountains, and the most produced are fire-based minerals; Chisha City is surrounded by a desert with few useful resources; The forest fire city is surrounded by fire-based vegetation forests, and there are many alien plants and beasts. ”
When she arrived at the commodity area, Duoer walked straight to the natural ingredients area. The prices sold here are all artificially bred alien plants and alien beasts, and the prices are really very expensive, and with Duo'er's current economic situation, they are not enough to buy the materials for a meal.
"Is it only cultivated? Doesn't it mean that Red Mars produces a lot of wild ingredients? Duo'er asked with a frown
"The wild ones are not sold in the market, because they have to be picked in the wild, and they cannot be produced in large quantities, so they are all released and purchased in the guild." Wilson replied
After shopping in the goods area, Duoer only bought two bags of synthetic salt. This one is very cheap and is synthesized according to the molecular structure of the salt consumed by paleo-earthers. But it's important for Do'er that salt is the most basic ingredient in cooking, and with this you can cook when you get the ingredients.
"Wilson, I'm here to train, I want to support myself on my own, so I need to make money, what do you suggest?"
Wilson pondered for a moment and said: "There are mercenary guilds in the main city that issue various tasks, some of which are collected in the wild, and the outer forest is not very dangerous, which is more suitable. If you want to reach into the deep forests and mountains, you need to join an adventure team or an exploration team, but many teams have a limit on their cultivation level, and they generally do not recruit minors. ”
"Oh, well, take me to Woodfire City. Is there a safe place to stay? ”
Wilson smiled and said, "My home is in Forest Fire City, and I have a mother and sister at home, if you can trust it, you can live in my house, and it will be 50 credits a day." And my mom and sister often do collecting tasks at the edge of the forest. ”
Doll accepts Wilson's suggestion and flies with him to Woodfire City, taking in the sights of Red Mars along the way. The reddish-brown earth, all kinds of red plants, and even the water in the river are pale red.
Wilson continues his work to let Doll learn more about Red Mars. "The attacks of alien plants and alien beasts here are basically fire-based, and they themselves are not afraid of fire, even plants. Water and ice hurt them a lot. However, it is said that the interstellar fire that can incinerate everything can also hurt them a lot, but I have never seen a strange fire. ”
Entering the Forest Fire City, the buildings here are colorful, but there is no red, which makes Duo'er very surprised. Wilson laughs and explains, "It's red everywhere, it's boring, and the city is a place for people to rest, and of course it's comfortable for the eyes." ”
――
Doll paid Wilson 1,000 credit in a lump sum, moved into Wilson's house, and met Wilson's mother, Aunt Pula, and sister Dona, who had prepared a room for Doll.
Wilson's house has two floors, the ground floor is the living room, dining room, and practice room, and the bedrooms are on the second floor. Doer's room is also on the second floor, with light blue decoration, with a washroom, a bed and a wardrobe, and the bedding has been made, although it is simple but also comfortable. Doll is satisfied.
On the day she arrived on Red Mars, the credit points in her pocket had shrunk by nearly half, and Duo'er was desperate to make some money. "Wilson, can you take me to the Mercenary Guild tomorrow for a mission?"
"Sister Lista, I'm going to the guild tomorrow too, so come with me." Dona's big eyes twinkled in anticipation. This sister is beautiful and gentle, and she likes it very much.
"Okay, Dona." Duo'er smiled and agreed.
Aunt Pula gently reminded them: "Remember to bring your collection tools and be careful not to get hurt." ”
Doll made an appointment with Dona and said goodnight and returned to her room.
After locking the door, Duo'er's spiritual power entered the space, cultivated as usual, drank the spring water, and went to the kitchen. There are various knives hanging in front of the cooking table, and Doll once took a fancy to a knife, and the length and weight were very suitable for her. I didn't have the opportunity to use it before, and I didn't take it out, but now I may use it often, so it's better to keep it with you.
This knife is more than a foot long, the blade is slender, the cold is cold, the whole is blue, and the blade is engraved with the ancient word "blue frost". He found a Zidor's weapon from the warehouse, slashed it with a knife, and the interstellar weapon was cut off. Duo'er couldn't help but praise happily: "Bishuang is amazing!" I'll use it for the rest of the day. ”
I found some suitable field picking tools from Qi Duoer's materials, including storage boxes for cultivating alien plants and preserving freshness, shields for wrist protection, light blades for cutting, and flyboards for solo aircraft.
Finally, in the kitchen, he carefully stroked the "five flavors", transported the five elements to warm up, and told it what he had seen and heard in Red Mars.
